Hi all I’m having finding it difficult finding the proper way to route some pages in my application. The application follows the rest architecture and is closed for non authorized persons. But their are some publicly available pages (normal content pages). These content pages are build dynamically. All the content comes from the database as the page structure. You could compare it to a basic cms. So viewing the page list, editing / creating and deleting gets done by normal REST principles edit\_pages\_path() =\> /en/pages/:id/edit new\_page\_path() =\> /en/pages/new and are only accessible for the authorized people. But the show action is where the content of the page is shown and is viewable by everyone. The only difference is, that the URL should look like this: /en/page-title So the controller name should not be visible for the viewers. Using the page title isn’t such a big deal. Instead of using page\_path(object), I put page\_path(:id =\> object.title) . The only downside is that the URL that gets rendered is /en/pages/page-title . So the controller name is visible. I have tryed using the :as option in the route, but that just results in double slashes en even not being able to use the controller name for the other actions. map.resources :pages, :as =\> “” , :path\_prefix =\> ‘/:locale’, I know this should be possible, since other rails cms are able the achieve this. Or maybe its not because the application is restful. I hope their is someone here who could help me out and point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance
